Steorn's perpetual motion claims are extraordinary. They've raised millions from investors, and 2007 is the year that this will all change the world or Steorn will fall apart. Which will it be? Find out here first.

Steorn has never exhibited the slightest credibility, in my opinion, essentially from the start.

Any vestige of potential that they had was thoroughly evaporated by the incredibly incompetent absurd ridiculous silly embarrassing wasteful and simply stupid farce they staged at Kinetica almost a year ago last July.

The thing about the Kinetica farce is that they showed something that looked like a Minato wheel and/or dozens of other similar magnetic failures. How did that translate from the stop/start device they tauted (which they never showed)? And it seemed that even if that Minato wheel worked as soon as you put a load on it, it would stop. So how do you get work out of a thing like that? (assuming of course that the thing can spin freely which has never been demonstrated).Also, if it was OU it would spin out of control as the over efficiencies increased by some factor and were not tapped off. It would be like constantly applying ever increasing current to a motor without a load.

How does this Steorn circus get so much traction? Are they trying to pull the Woo over our eyes?

Magnatrix is a tease with a history of vaguely hinting that Steorn have what they claim. She is either a Steorn employee or an uber believer that makes Babcat seem rather normal.

This kind of "slip" is the nearest thing to a press release that Steorn can come up with these days.

The purpose is to show that it's business as normal in the same way that Sean had to crash his car to earn some credibility after the demo failure just to prove that he wasn't delusional after all, just an ordinary human being. How ironic.

This whole thing became significantly less interesting when two things happened. Firstly Sean stopping debating with the public (the 'developers club' doesn't count). Secondly, it became apparent that Steorn was still taking investments.

They are now indistinguishable from any other perpetual motion machine scam.

Aussie inventors beat Steorn to the punch! Small generator 24kw FREE ENERGY available next year $5,000! Presented by skynews http://www.greenoptimistic.com/2008/03/07/aussie-free-energy-generator-presented-by-sky-news/

I have been rereading som parts of the Steorn forum. It seems that Sean was very senistive about what Thundrabog wrote about BES (Business Expansion Schemes).To me it looks like Steorn used a BES scheme to make the investors trust Steorn. But what did Steorn do after the BES scheme ? Are they still runnng some sort of tax schemes in cooparation with their investors or have they taken the money and left the country ?Do you get any money from the EU when you run a BES scheme ?

The BES-scheme (A-shares) investment origins from 26 March 2001, with a value of 61.000 Irish Pounds (77.454 Euro).

It has nothing to do with the OU activities of Steorn that did not start before 2004. The company was founded on 18 July 2000.

Together with the investment of Tom Byrne on 12 January 2001 of 100.000 Irish Pounds (126.974 Euro) it has been the only financial injection into Steorn before the OU investment rounds started few years later.

Compared with the OU investments of Euro 15.164.140 (> 15 Million Euro) the BES-scheme investment can be neglected anyway.

I think Sean was not interested to talk about the BES-scheme, just because it remembered of a less successful period of the Steorn existence (that was before the July 2007 demo!), and it would confuse the running OU story.

• A fuel-free room heater prototype, expected to open a path to rapid production under license.

• Self-sustaining desktop demonstration devices for the university and school market.

• A variety of toys: No batteries required!

• A 1 kW solid-state POWERGENIE generator. This will have a wide variety of potential applications. A few might be linked together to power a home. Two of these generators are expected to enable removal of the need for a plug from a plug-in hybrid car.

Other objectives may be added as resources permit"

I think MPI will deliver all their promises this year in the same way they have done in the last 20 year...

So what? BTW, whatever happend to Steorn Labs? Steorn had issued a statement saying they were going into the lab testing business last year and that was the last I ever heard of it. Of course it made no sense but nonsense seems to be what Steorn does best.

Well, with names like "Ultraconductor" and "POWERGENIE" I think I will now shift my undying support to Magnetic Power (do they have a forum? YAY!). As for Steorn I hear all the guys got a heinous flu and Sean made some remedy concoction that accidentally cured the whole office. It now turns out the remedy neutralizes all viruses! A major breakthrough and new funding for "Steorn Medical" has already raised 10million euros. Someone take these guys to Vegas! Awesome!

R. Hatfield did not invest into Steorn (unless he is behind the Patmore Group or the Sadbury Pension). He just got some almost free board member shares (112 B-shares) and a nice, most probably very well paid, position as CFO.

S. McCarthy did not invest into Steorn (except for the initial 375 Euro founding capital for 37500 shares). He did sell some shares though with a little profit, and most probably got (gets?) a royal salary as CEO.

One could also say that they may not have invested financial resources, but instead they invested their valuable time, attention and reputation. And indeed, they made some money where others, the financial investors, lost theirs.

humm it seems the cause of this was a bright idea by crank (one of the forum moderators)

according to her: "I closed it. I had my reasons "

and

"OK - here's an example of a problem with having a forum that can be surfed by anyone. One poster has complained that when old friends search online in order to reconnect, what they find is links to loads of posts on the Steorn forum saying things like 'so-and-so is a nut-job' 'so-and-so is a wacko' 'so-and-so is evil' etc. etc. etc. This poster has requested that I remove all those posts. I just don't have time to go back through dozens of threads to find nuggets of abuse directed at particular posters, so it's easier to stop those threads appearing on search engines altogether. "

For those who know the name of the most famous "religious nut job" on Steorn. Try typing it in Google. How many pages before you find an association with Steorn. Looks like GH bullshitted Crank into hiding his asinine posts from the world.

Lol. Crank has done the world a favour but not for the reasons she thinks.

Websites typically have about 5 lurkers (or more) for every poster. Most of these wouldn't have accounts. These folks are now cut off from the Steorn bullcrap. The forum was the only active (sort-of) publicly-available part of Steorn left.

... and all because some poster is embarassed about some of the stupid things he said. Or... Steorn is embarassed by what's on the website.

Either way, fine job Crank. Hopefully this will help keep some naive and stupid people from learning about Steorn and parting with their cash.
